I don’t get where the ‘steep learning curve’ argument comes from. This wasn’t my experience at all.

- mckirk 4y agoI suspect this largely depends on where you're coming from. If you are comfortable with C++ and Haskell, Rust probably doesn't feel that hard to learn. But coming from JavaScript or PHP, I can indeed imagine a steep learning curve.
- ZephyrBlu 4y agoI think Rust has a lot more complexity relative to other languages (Borrow checker and lifetimes especially). I didn't find it particularly hard to pick up the basics, but compared to say Python or Ruby there is a lot more upfront complexity to do things. If you're coming from C/C++ it's probably easier to pick up, but in terms of relative difficulty across all languages I definitely think it's up there.
